I used to live in Spain and they had some beautiful flowers, purple in
colour, overhanging balconies etc. I used to see a lot of them all over.
Does anyone know their name or if I can grow them in the UK South West.

Thanks Amanda


Bougainvillea, probably. Or maybe the Million Bells surfinias. If it's the
Bougainvillea, it will survive in extremely sheltered, coastal areas.
Otherwise it has to be in a pot and brought in for the winter. It's more
usually grown as a conservatory plant in this country.
